The Gift Part 2 Chapter 16

A/N: Thank you for reading my story for those that are reading it. But I like to have some reviews sometime cause I may think about not continuing this story if theirs no interest.

Goku was sitting in the chair looking out the window of the beautiful scenery of Zeon. They both change their minds about leaving so they could make sure Gohan was going to be ok. He wished he could do something to make his son well and stop Omnimus from hurting him. Chichi took some aspirin and decided to take a nap cause she had headache from all the yelling she did. Gokus stomach started growling like an angry person cause he was hungry. "I think it's time to get something to eat." Said Goku as he was sitting in his chair.

The guard came to the door and asked to escort them to the dining hall where dinner was served. That was music to his ears. He waked up Chichi but she said, she'd have dinner later. Goku went with a guard walking down the huge halls. Goku enjoyed coming to Zeon especially when he would visit Arden and train him. He never was all over the castle or really outside just only certain places where they were allowed to train cause they didn't want to risk ripping apart the castle or the media asking questions.

When they entered the dining room he saw the extra long table put out and it was loaded with food from front to back and Trina, Arden and Athena were all sitting their waiting.

"Is this a dream come true I've never seen this much food served here in the dining room!" Goku said with excitement. He couldn't believe his eyes; he immediately sat down and almost forgot his manners. "Oh I'm sorry I forgot that we have to wait." He pulled his hands back from grabbing.

Trina smiled. "It's ok Goku, we know it's been a while since you've been here."

"Sorry, Chichi couldn't come but she had a headache and is taking a nap." "That's ok Goku we know she's stress and worried." Said Trina.

"Hey Arden!" Goku ruffled his hair and he laughed and smiled at his grandfather.

"Ok let's dig in." Trina smiled.

"Wow I wish Gohan was here he'll probably help me eat everything." Said Goku looking at all the delicious food.

Athena wished the same thing, instead of her husband lying in a hospital bed, she prefer he be at her side. Everyone was eating and Goku as usual was on his twenty-first serving and Trina and Athena were just about done with their first. Arden was finishing up his fourth and going on his fifth. Athena started laughing at Goku cause it reminded her of Gohan when he was a teenager.

"You must keep Chichi really busy no wonder that woman is a fuss box." Said Trina.

"I'm very sorry about Chichi, she can really can be a handful with her attitude at times."

It was thirty minutes later and everyone else was finish eating except Goku and Arden.

"I think I'm full I can't eat another bite." Said Arden rubbing his stomach. "I'm pretty sure you can't, after having six servings." Smiled Trina as she looked at her grandson.

"Mom how is Dad?"

"He was feeling a lot better when I spoke with him this morning."

"Can I go see him before I go to bed."

"Sure Arden, but after you do your homework."

"Well I think I'm full now I don't think I have room for dessert." Said Goku smiling.

"Wow grandfather you were starved, you ate more than usual and everything's gone." Said Arden looking at the table.

"I think it's time you go get started on your homework so you can spend time with your father."

"Ok mom." Arden kissed everyone and left the room.

Athena didn't know how to ask Goku about her dream machine but she knew she needed to talk with him. "Goku, I need to ask you a favor?" Said Athena.

"Ok." Smiled Goku.

"I was wondering if you could go into Gohans dreams with him."

Trina looked at her daughter strange. "Athena what are you up to?"

"Mom, Goku, I really want Gohan to go to sleep and he won't go to sleep cause he's defenseless."

"Actually, how do I get into Gohans dreams?"

"I have a dream machine that will allow me to alter his dreams and probably put an end to his nightmares."

"Athena this sounds sort of dangerous."

"Mom it's not really dangerous as long as I'm monitoring the situation."

"Where do I fit in with this?"

"Well I want you to protect Gohan in his dreams since, my father has made Gohan defenseless."

"Will this bring harm to Goku?" Said Trina worried.

"It may, cause going into the dream world may feel like you're in the real world. That explains why Gohan had bruises on him when he awakened."

"That sounds scary." Said Trina.

"It may sound scary but if it's going to keep Omnimus from having the upper hand then lets do it." Said Goku willing to do it.

"Now wait a minute Athena, what about Gohan and his mom? You know Chichi may have a hard time agreeing with her husband doing this."

"Mom, as much as I don't want to do this… I really want Gohan to feel better and if going in his dreams is going to stop my father from tormenting him then I rather do it."

"I do have a question about something?" Said Goku wondering.

"Yeah sure, what is it?" Said Athena.

"Since I'm suppose to protect Gohan in his dreams, how are we suppose to stop the nightmares."

"Well, that's where Elaine comes in. I want to stop my father from playing around with that chip."

"We don't have that much time. We only have two days left and then Gohan has to fight with Omnimus." Said Goku.

"I know, but we are going to be working fast and maybe I'll talk to Elaine tonight maybe we can start early."

"I want to know, who told you that Gohan was sick?" Asked Trina.

"Actually I called and Arden told me cause I wanted to know where Gohan was."

"I was just wondering cause we were going to call you but you beat us to it." "Hey it's ok and Gohan will pull through he's tough." Smirked Goku.

"Oww! That hurts!" Yelled Gohan as one of the nurses cleaned his stitch. "Sorry Prince Gohan but their was some blood that needed to be cleaned off."

I can't wait to get my hands on that JERK, for doing this to me thought Gohan.

The nurse threw the bloody gauge away while the other nurses took his vitals.

"Can I ask you ladies something?"

"Sure Prince Gohan." The nurse smiled.

"Is there any chance that I can get out of here in two days."

"If doctor Elaine says so."

Gohan breathe a sigh. "I hope she does, I hate hospital beds."

"Prince Gohan, are you under any stress?" Asked the nurse.

"I am tired and maybe a little stress." Said Gohan.

"Did you take a nap earlier?"

"Actually no."

"Why not, you need to rest."

Gohan was hesitant. "I can't go to sleep cause of the nightmares."

"Well your blood pressure is up a little because of not resting. If you expect to get well I suggest you get some sleep." Said the nurse leaving out the room. Gohan was getting bored lying in bed. He felt a lot better but tired, cause he was fighting his sleep. Arden came in the room smiling at his dad. Gohan sat up with a smile on his face and happy to see his son.

In Athena's lab Goku, and Trina were talking with Athena about the dream machine. "You see this dream machine it has a helmet that you put on so you can go into your dream." Said Athena.

"So, this machine sends us into the same dream and I can protect Gohan." "Yes, while me and Elaine shut down his chip and hopefully stop them from entering his mind again."

"I wonder will Gohan like this?" Said Goku not for sure.

"I love my husband Goku and I will do my best to try and make him comfortable as possible."

"Athena, are there any side effects to this?" Said Trina worried.

"Well yes, remember what I said about feeling what is real in the dreams. If you fight with my father you are going to feel the pain if he hits you."

"I know about pain I've been in many battles and I really don't care just as long Gohan is ok."

"That's good to know how accepting you are to that even though I don't like the fact that you might face it." Said Athena cheerful but worried.

"I hope Chichi is going to be understanding to this." Said Trina worried. "Don't worry about Chichi she's just going to have to understand and it's really now, all up to Gohan." Said Goku.

"Well let's go and talk with Elaine and then, with Gohan." Said Athena feeling that Gohans not going to like this.

On the space ship Omnimus was in the room lifting weights and Adieus walked in. "So are you preparing for battle, brother."

"Well of course, you think I wouldn't after what he did to me." Said Omnimus almost dropping the weights.

"I will have some of the guys ready incase he tricks us."

"Look I want this to be a fair fight!"

Adieus looked at him like if he didn't want his help.

"Listen Adieus, I'm not saying we don't need backup it's just I want to make him suffer for what he did to me! If anybody's going to pound him in the ground, it's going to be me!"

Adieus lift his eyebrow and smiled. "You are ruthless brother."

"Hey if things start to get heavy and out of control you can proceed with plan two." Omnimus smiled.

Goku, Trina, Athena and Elaine walked into the room where Gohan was. Arden was playing checkers with his dad. Athena smiled and spoke. "Hey, how are my two most handsome saiyans doing?"

They both looked up and smiled. Gohan smiled but by seeing all of them there he was wondering was their something wrong.

"Were sorry to break up your game but honey, we need to have a talk." Said Athena.

"Does this mean we can't finish?" Said Arden sounding sad.

"Yes it does Arden." Said Athena feeling bad.

"It's ok son we can play tomorrow." Gohan smiled at him. Arden took the checkers off the bed and took them with him. He kissed his dad. Athena looked at him. "Sorry son but you can play with daddy tomorrow."

"Yeah Arden, go finish your homework." Said Gohan.

Athena gave him a look and Arden put his head down. "I thought I told you to finish your homework." Athena said softly.

"I finished some of it but not all of it."

"Listen, finish up before it's your bedtime you know how I feel about you being up late."

"Yes mom." Athena kissed her son and he left. Elaine closed the door.

"I hope I haven't contracted any disease since everyone has a plain look on their faces." Said Gohan looking worried.
